Refer to SSL BR V1.4.1, 

 

If we change the BR to

 

7.1.4.2.2 Subject Distinguished Name Fields

f.Certificate Field: subject:stateOrProvinceName (OID: 2.5.4.8) 

Required if the subject:organizationName field, subject:givenName field, or
subject:surname field are present and subject:localityName field is absent.

 

Optional if: (a)  the subject:localityName field and the
subject:organizationName field, and subject:givenName field , or
subject:surname field are present.

t, or (b) if the country name provided under subsection h. is Taiwan (TW),
Singapore (SG), etc..

or (c) if the subject:organizationName and subject:countryName fields are
present and the country/jurisdiction specified by the subject:countryName
field has a centralized registry for that kind of organizations so that the
organization name specified by the subject:organizationName field is
"unique" in the entire country/jurisdiction.

Normally, situation (c) may exist in small countries/jurisdictions such as
Singapore (SG), Taiwan (TW), etc.

 

     (b) and (c) are exception for original sentences. 

 

  We need not to maintain “Appendix X“, just let the Licensed WebTrust
Practitioners : International to check the suitability for DN rule for each
CA.  So there will be no burden for maintain the list in CA/B forum.

 

    And then we amend EVGL section 9.2.5 and 9.2.7, with some reference to
SSL BR 7.1.4.2.2.

 

     The reason  is that Taiwan’s government already has DN naming (GPKI
certificate and CRL profile, DN tree, Government Directory Service) for 13
years. 

 

     it is not suitable to enforce the CA to insert either L or ST into the
subject DN as page 23 and 24 of attached file.

Another possibility is to leave state or province as required, but then add:

 

“State or province is not required for the countries listed on Appendix X”

 

Then we add places (Taiwan, Monaco, Vatican City, Germany, United Kingdom)
as people bring them forward.  We could include an initial list with this
ballot to avoid having to prepare another ballot to add places.

Yes, I like something along those lines.

How about this?

 

Required/Optional: 

City and country – Required; 

State – Required, if verified per Section 11.4.1 as part of the address for
the Place of Business;

Street and postal code – Optional

 

If there is no state or the state is not used as part of the address, then
it is not required.

 

Bruce.

But City + Country is not unique in many common, important cases
(“Springfield, United States”), and the state is also important since
state laws tend to vary quite a bit in the US … I think something more in
the spirit of the current BRs that does a better job of tightening up what
“where applicable” means would be better.

 

I don’t want to lose the requirement that US EV certificates MUST include
the state.

Here is a proposed ballot per my action.

Thanks, Bruce.

Background: 

There is confusion on whether the state or province OID MUST be included in
an EV certificate. EV section 9.2.7 states in one place “State or province
(where applicable)” and also “City, state and country – Required.”

Since many countries do not have states or provinces and some that do have
states or provinces do not use them for their address, it is proposed that
inclusion of the state or province OID should be optional.

-- MOTION BEGINS -- 

Current section 9.2.7 of EV Guidelines:

Required/Optional: City, state, and country – Required; Street and postal
code – Optional

Proposed section 9.2.7 of EV Guidelines: 

Required/Optional: City and country – Required; Street, state and postal
code – Optional

-- MOTION ENDS -- 

The review period for this ballot shall commence at 2200 UTC on XX, and will
close at 2200 UTC on XX. Unless the motion is withdrawn during the review
period, the voting period will start immediately thereafter and will close
at 2200 UTC on XX. Votes must be cast by posting an on-list reply to this
thread. 

A vote in favor of the motion must indicate a clear 'yes' in the response. A
vote against must indicate a clear 'no' in the response. A vote to abstain
must indicate a clear 'abstain' in the response. Unclear responses will not
be counted. The latest vote received from any representative of a voting
member before the close of the voting period will be counted. Voting members
are listed here:

qfzYQ53A&s=5&u=https%3a%2f%2fcabforum%2eorg%2fmembers%2f>
https://cabforum.org/members/ 

In order for the motion to be adopted, two thirds or more of the votes cast
by members in the CA category and greater than 50% of the votes cast by
members in the browser category must be in favor. Quorum is currently nine
(9) members– at least nine members must participate in the ballot, either
by voting in favor, voting against, or abstaining.
